The Woman From Hell
Chapter 204

Chapter 204

I knew who this woman was. She was Nadia Sherman, the secretary who took care of the flowersand plants i n Theo's office.

I frowned and turned to Xander. "Let's go somewhere else."

It was normal for the president and his secretary to eat together, but if I suddenly went in, it mightseem that I was here on purpose and it would be awkward for everyone.

Xander looked at me with a cheeky grin and said," You've caught him red-handed, so why don't youwant to go in?"

After he said that, I did not realize what he meant and asked casually, "What do you mean I'vecaught him red -handed?"

He put his hand over his forehead. "Well, as long as you're happy." After he said that, he gave me a'You're an idiot' look.

The entire floor was full of restaurants and it would not be hard to replace another place to eat. I pointedto a paella place in front and said, "Let’s go there. It looks pretty good."

At that moment, my phone rang. When I grabbed my

phone and looked, it was Theo calling.

I could not help but look up and his deep gaze was looking straight at me. He said in a deep voice,"Come i n." Theo's expression looked cold, but I could not tell what he was feeling.

"It's fine. I don’t want to disturb you." Since Xander said he wanted to talk to me, it would beinconvenient if we went in.

He stood up and walked over to the window. He had one hand in his pocket, and his dark eyesnarrowed slightly. He stared at Xander and me. His voice carried a hint of coldness as he said,"Would you be disturbing me or would I be disturbing you guys?"

"Both." Since he saw me but was not coming out, it meant that he must have something importantto discuss with his secretary and could not leave. If we went in rashly, we would be disturbing them.

He had a cold smile and looked slightly angry. Even though we were looking at each other throughthe glass window, I still felt his bone-chilling aura. I hurriedly said, "I have to go. Enjoy your meal."

After I said that, I hung up the phone and did not look at him again. I turned around and pulledXander forward.

After entering the restaurant, I looked down and ordered the food while Xander used his hands toprop up his chin. He looked at me thoughtfully without saying a word.

"Do I have something on my face?" I looked up and asked after being stared at by him for a longtime.

He looked at me cheekily. "You’re calm. Aren't you afraid that the woman will be another Cindy?"

He picked up the glass of water in front of him and gently sipped it. I looked at him and said, "Didn'tyou say you have something important to tell me?"

His raging fire to gossip was immediately put out by m e. His interest faded and he straightened up.He said lazily, "Theo’s going to Whaldorf City to expand his business. Do you know that?"

I nodded. "Yes, he told me."

He did not look surprised and continued, "Grant Corporation has been planning to expand toWhaldorf City since a few years ago, so it's not surprising. It's just that based on Theo's steady

character, this whole move seems a bit hasty. There's also another thing that’s very strange."

"What is it?" I looked up and asked indifferently.

"My mother is also preparing to move her company to Whaldorf City," he said with his arms crossedand a look of deep thought on his face.

When I saw how unhappy he looked, I could not help but say, "Isn't that good? Whaldorf City is thecapital city. It's the top in the economic and trade sector. If her company moves there, it means thatthere's a good development prospect and it’ll be beneficial to

you!"

He rolled his eyes at me. “Do you think I'm worried about that? Silly, I'm worried about you. Thinkabout i t, Cindy and Grayson are both in Whaldorf City. Plus, m y mom is moving the companythere. If Theo's also moving there in a hurry at this time, what do you think it means?"

I took a sip of water and said, "It means that everyone has good foresight and their companies aredoing well, n

"You..." Xander pointed at me and got so angry that his face turned red. "Are you really that stupidor are you just pretending to be stupid? It’s fine that my mother's moving there. After all, herdaughter and her lover are over there, so of course she would move there.

"But it's a different story for Grant Corporation.

They've monopolized the entire Salt City's economy and are growing bigger and faster than ever, sowhy d o they suddenly want to relocate regardless of the consequences? It's obvious how much ofan impact it'll have on the company. Theo knows about this but still insists on doing so. Why do youthink that is?"

"Why?" I put down the glass of water and could not help but ask.

"Idiot, of course, it's because of the people."

I was a little confused. "What people?" "I guess what they say about pregnancy brain is real."Xander shook his head and said helplessly, "My guess i s that there’s someone behind this. And Ithink that that person is none other than Cindy's father, Grayson. His daughter is still not over yourman. I don’t think I need to say more about why he’s doing this, right?”
